Holy smokes @daft009, can you send some of those my way please?

I can offer you... Maths textbooks and engaging tutoring sessions (and advice on watches).

Lucky you... Well done indeed!

I have a similar "problem"

4,049,871
KrisFlyer miles
expiring within the next six months

I already have multiple F return flights booked - so there is no way I will be able to use my points, unless they continue with the extensions.
I may need to resort to using points less efficiently ( gift vouchers, hotels etc ) but hopefully can avoid this.
Pre Covid when I attained all my points, I would never had imagined that I would have difficulties using them within the 3/4 year limit.
I am now more conservative and am keeping most of my points at Amex (no time limit).

They will extend into 2023. You may have a paid extension left on them for another six to twelve months. You can then book travel almost a year ahead of time. So there may be almost three years left on their life. If all else fails and VA resurrects the transfers you could wash your points through Velocity. You’d halve the number of points but they would have new life.

thanks mate.
it was a "glitch in the matrix" that worked in my favour so I'm not bummed even if I have to pay to extend 12months.
I'm still way ahead.

Sent my dad yesterday to DEL in J.
our charity school in our ancestral village has finally reopened post-covid.
lots of kids (7-10yo) have left during the last 2yrs and just working on farms or the local road side tea stalls etc.
need to rally the parents to get them to come back to school to have some minimum education for their own long term betterment

now about to book my in-laws in J to CMB. lots of brownie points for me

So long as they know it was a glitch in the matrix and don’t think this is the new normal

In-laws being why it is only one way to CMB. and not return.

I assume HEL was not available......

Haha the next problem is, you'll have so many brownie points that you won't know what to do with them all (much like your initial trouble with an abundance of KF)!

You're a good man - sending your folks and in-laws in comfort on trips to the motherland. I can only hope to do the same one day
Maybe next time you could send your parents over in F/R onwards to DEL (given the A380 returning to the SIN-DEL and SIN-BOM routes)...

I bought my parents their first trip in F long haul a few years ago as a gift
And since then I've bought them 4x J tickets to various places due to birthdays, lack of cash fares...... at this rate I'm going to run out of points to use for myself!

Is this a new extension?

Nope, same as announced months ago. I thought this thread covered it, but previous posts date back to 2022! I might be mistaken though, the posts might have disappeared into the matrix? @Mattg ?

I've just managed to use mine up...

 

[Coops1]

I've just managed to use mine up...

Due to points split across +1, I have to transfer more in, to get 2xEUR return and 2xASIA return. Uses them all up though. Availability is ordinary and you need to be flexible.

Does anyone know that miles expiring in july 2023 = 31st july expiry date?

Ive got a heap expiring and need to decide when and where to use them
